In Finland, Ahti is the god of the seas, lakes, and rivers.

By the waves and clouds, Ahti's palace was forever protected from the outside world, particularly from humans.

As a gloomy deity, Ahti was jealous of the sky gods and spent much of his time brooding because people prayed to them instead of him.

If it pleased him, he could give humans fish.

Ahti often sent his servants, the water sprites, to whip up whirlpools as punishment for not worshipping him adequately.

Vellamo, Ahti's wife, enjoyed drowning people.
